Kinesiology tape RockTape
The Kinesio Strap is non-restrictive, works immediately and is suitable for both professional and self-use. RockTape is distinguished by its extremely strong, waterproof adhesive, making it ideal for water sports enthusiasts. Its high elongation of almost 180% makes it a favourite among athletes.
RockTape (5 cm × 5 m) stays on the skin for 2-7 days and is free of active ingredients but has a stabilising and supportive effect. One 5 m roll lasts approximately 5-10 times. The colour and pattern of the tape do not affect its therapeutic properties.
How do I use the kinesiology tape?
Ideally, the tape should be applied by a professional – a physiotherapist or massage therapist. However, if you know the principles of taping, you can do it yourself.
- ✔ Apply the tape 20-30 minutes before your workout.
- ✔ Choose the right length and width of the band – a 5 cm band is suitable for most muscles.
- ✔ Cut the ends of the tape round to help it last longer.
- ✔ Clean and dry the skin, removing hairs if necessary.
- ✔ Keep the muscle in a stretched position, but do not stretch the band itself.
- ✔ Rub lightly after sealing – heat activates the adhesive.
- ✔ The band should bend slightly as the muscle returns to its normal position.
Removal and precautions
- ✔ When removing – hold the skin with one hand and gently pull the tape with the other.
- ✔ Do not use sudden, quick movements – this can irritate the skin.
- ✔ Remove the tape immediately if itching or rash occurs.
